Go over the list, quite a few interesting additions and refinements:
Code:
Download Mirrors:

Code:
Code:
* New File Navigator Interface (Shift+"F").
The File Navigator Interface allows you to navigate your entire
file system using simple keystrokes which can be mapped to a
remote control device.
General:
[LEFT/RIGHT] arrows switch between Files and Drive selection.
Files:
[UP/DOWN] arrows cycles through the available files in the current
directory.
[ENTER] pick which file to play or Enter/Exit directories.
[BACKSPACE] is used as a shortcut to go UP one directory.
[INSERT] when a directory is highlighted will play the entire
directory, including sub-directories.
Drives:
[UP/DOWN] arrows cycle through the available drives, the path
used is for the active drive is the last path visited. The
visited paths are remembered between sessions.
[ENTER] on a drive will set the file path to the drive's root
directory and set the focus to the file panel.
* New DVD Trailers Definition System that allows you to have
Random and Specific trailers play before every DVD, for more
information, see the "default.trailers" file in the Zoom Player
directory. You can specify which file is used at:
Option->DVD->DVD Tools.
* OSD Customization of the Navigator Interfaces. You can now
pick the font Face, CharSet, Bold, Italics, Colors that will
be used on most of the Navigator Interfaces. I've also
consolidated the look of the interfaces so that they look
more coherent.
* New LCD Communication Interface.
While not directly controlling LCD devices, this interface
allows external programs to use certain Zoom Player playback
information for LCD display.
See "zplcd100.zip" for more information.
* New "External" entry on the Options dialog.
* You can now set the WinDVD DeInterlace and Audio Output modes.
These settings only take effect if the WinDVD filters are not
currently active (playing some video) and may not work with
the trial version of WinDVD.
* You can now set the PowerDVD DeInterlace and Audio Output modes.
These settings only take effect if the PowerDVD filters are not
currently active (playing some video) and may not work with
all versions of PowerDVD.
* Faster Folder/DVD image resize code. Not as good at downsizing
compared to the previous filtering code, but it's A LOT faster
and the image still looks very good. It also gives better
quality when upsizing the image.
* Faster Gradient draws (skin script).
* The Ctrl+"B" Cycle Subtitle track function will now work for
subtitles displayed using VobSub.
* The Shift+"B" Disable Subtitle function will now work for
subtitles displayed using VobSub.
* New "/CD:[n]" Command Line Parameter to set the Active CD/DVD drive.
Example: "zplayer.exe /CD:F" will set the Active CD/DVD to drive "F".
* New "/ADD:[path]" Command Line Parameter that adds entire paths to
the play list. For Example:
"c:\\program files\\zplayer\\zplayer.exe" "/add:e:\\my video files\\"
Notice the "", if this parameter isn't encased, spaces in the given
path would be considered a different parameter.
* New "/FILENAV" Command Line Parameter which starts Zoom Player with
the File Navigator interface active.
* New keyboard/remote mapping function "exInterface" to explicitly
Toggle specific interfaces.
* New "On Play Complete" toggle that allows the next file
(alphabetically ordered) in the same directory to be played.
* New DVD Setting "Assume DVD Menu at all times". This setting will
make Zoom Player assume you're in a DVD Menu at all times forcing
the arrow keys to work only as menu navigation controls. This is
useful for problematic discs which seem to confuse DirectShow into
thinking they are not in a DVD Menu while they are in fact in one.
When this setting is enabled, you can't use the Arrow keys to
position the video in DVD Mode, however, you can still use the
Shift+Arrow keys to perform the same task.
* New Interface Setting "Move Mouse off-screen when Mouse is hidden
by inactivity". I think it's pretty self-explanatory, it just moves
the mouse cursor off-screen when it's hidden due to inactivity.
* New "Set as Default" button on the Overlay Colors dialog that allows
you to save the current Overlay Color settings as the default values
which are used each time you press the "Restore Default" button.
* New "Anamorphic Aspect Ratio is relative to" selection box that
allows you to define if the Anamorphic AR mode is relative to
the source aspect ratio or to the defined video dimension.
* The mouse double click can now be assigned to Toggle the Overlay
Color Control interface.
* The Media mode "Subtitle" context-menu entry has been changed
to "Language". It should now behave exactly as the Media Player
"Language" entry works, and as such should also display OGG
Audio/Video selection entries.
* As per the change above, OGG stream selection should now work.
If both OGG and VobSub are in use, OGG takes precedent. So make
sure your ogg subtitles are actually within the OGG file.
* You can now set the CD/DVD drive through the "DVD->DVD Values"
interface. This is EXACTLY the same setting as the one at
"Values & Tools->Interface", I duplicated the setting so people
could find it when looking for it in a DVD Context.
* You can now associate the M3U play list extension.
* You can now disable the Mouse Cursor from Auto-Hiding. Also,
the Auto-Hide setting for the Control Bar has been moved next to
the "Hide in [n] Seconds" value in order to make it more accessible.
* The Volume Increase/Decrease keys has been changed from "Home"/"End"
to Shift+"Home"/Shift+"End". I've also changed the play previous/next
files in directory keys from "PgUp"/"PgDn" to Shift+"PgUp"/Shift+"PgDn"
The idea behind these changes is that now these keys are available
for use in the navigation interfaces.
* Modified the DVD Menu detection code once again, this time it's
a hybrid between the old system and the newer system, hopefully
this should work best with most discs, especially the odd ones
with very deep menus which confuse directshow.
* Fixed a skin issue with the Volume and Rate bars.
* Going in and out of fullscreen mode no longer breaks Drag&Drop
onto the Play List editor.
* Pressing Space in Checkbox lists should no longer jump to different
settings.
* Enter key now works in the Play List Editor and the Chapter/Bookmark
editor to play an Item.
* Removing items from the play list, no longer interferes with the
playback order.
* Removing the currently playing video from the Play List will
now stop playback and close the video.
* Fixed list index out of bounds error when opening play list files
with Random Play enabled.
* Exiting Zoom Player while in Zoom/Fullscreen mode will no longer
set the window position to the top left corner.
* Mute status is now remembered upon exiting Zoom Player.
* Opening a Directory will no longer add files that contain acceptable
extensions as part of their base names.
For example, this file name is no longer considered valid:
"my.avi.list.txt".
* While not really designed for it, the Play List Editor should now
be easier to navigate using a remote device.
* Deleting items through the Play List Navigator now works.
* Add Directory should now work under Win9x when adding the root drive.
* Context Help should now open the associated web page rather than just
showing it's URL.zoomplayer260b3.zip
